README

To build the system (experts only):
Requirements:
- Your build environment must be FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE (building on
FreeBSD 10 or 11 is not supported at this time).
- amd64 or i386 for i386 builds; an amd64 for amd64 builds. 8GB of
memory, or an equal/greater amount of swap space, is also required
- You will need the following ports/packages when compiling anything
FreeNAS-related:
- devel/git
- sysutils/cdrtools
- archivers/pxz
- lang/python (2.7 or later, with THREADS support)
(and all the dependencies that these ports/pkgs install, of course)
Building the System Quickstart Flow:
- Checking out the code from git:
% cd /path/to/your-build-filesystem
% git clone git://github.com/freenas/freenas.git
% cd freenas
- Build it
% make git-external
% make release
This will also fetch TrueOS and ports for the build from github.
The End Result:
If your build completes successfully, you'll have both 32 and 64 bit
release products in the release_stage directory. You will also have
a tarball in your build directory containing the entire release for
easy transport.
